Ana never gave up the lead

One evening, 6 players, a single crown. The rest — stories to tell over coffee.

Elena took last place without any nerves at all, on 86 points. In the fourth of the closing eights: Elena called 0, took 3, and Ana was left out in the cold.

In 5th place, Cristian Imparat, on 107 points. After the four-card hand on the way up, Cristian was 3rd and dreaming of the podium — but the last hands had other plans.

Ioana finishes right in the middle — neither hot nor cold — 4th, with 119 points. Ioana spent a good while in last place and climbed out of it.

Third, and on the podium: Radu, with 130 points. Radu was ahead of Mihai right up to the last hand.

Second place for Mihai, with 135 points. So close to the top they can still taste it — bittersweet. Mihai got past Radu at the very last hand.

First place: Ana, with 141 points. The rest, see you in the replay. In front from the third of the opening eights to the end, and nobody got close enough to worry about. At one stretch, 16 good hands in a row.

Well played everyone — and especially Ana!
